Will it be upwards for Mikel Arteta and his boys from now on?
Arsenal finally got their first win of the season as they beat Norwich 1-0 in front of a packed Emirates crowd, and in all fairness for most parts of the match, the Gunners looked in total control of the game even if they experienced a few nervy moments towards the end of the game.
They secured the 3 points which hopefully will kick start their season from here on. Here are some positives to take from the game:
The Serious and Energetic Takehiro Tomiyasu
Tomiyasu looks too serious, too athletic, and too dominant to not be a success. I am impressed. I said in May that Arsenal may well ‘use’ Arteta in the summer to recruit as I think this is his main strength.
I’m very excited about all the 6 players he’s recruited. All have a good chance of being big athletic and age profile improve...
